SEC. 414. CREATING AN OFFICIAL RECORD OF THE OSAMA BIN LADEN
OPERATION.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) On May 1, 2011, United States personnel killed
terrorist leader Osama bin Laden during the course of a
targeted strike against his secret compound in Abbottabad,
Pakistan.
(2) Osama bin Laden was the leader of the al Qaeda
terrorist organization, the most significant terrorism threat
to the United States and the international community.
(3) Osama bin Laden was the architect of terrorist attacks
which killed nearly 3,000 civilians on September 11, 2001,
the most deadly terrorist attack against our Nation, in which
al Qaeda terrorists hijacked four airplanes and crashed them
into the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in
Washington, D.C., and, due to heroic efforts by civilian
passengers to disrupt the terrorists, near Shanksville,
Pennsylvania.
(4) Osama bin Laden planned or supported numerous other
deadly terrorist attacks against the United States and its
allies, including the 1998 bombings of United States
embassies in Kenya and Tanzania and the 2000 attack on the
U.S.S. Cole in Yemen, and against innocent civilians in
countries around the world, including the 2004 attack on
commuter trains in Madrid, Spain and the 2005 bombings of the
mass transit system in London, England.
(5) Following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks,
the United States, under President George W. Bush, led an
international coalition into Afghanistan to dismantle al
Qaeda, deny them a safe haven in Afghanistan and ungoverned
areas along the Pakistani border, and bring Osama bin Laden
to justice.
(6) President Barack Obama in 2009 committed additional
forces and resources to efforts in Afghanistan and Pakistan
as ``the central front in our enduring struggle against
terrorism and extremism''.
(7) The valiant members of the United States Armed Forces
have courageously and vigorously pursued al Qaeda and its
affiliates in Afghanistan and around the world.
(8) The anonymous, unsung heroes of the intelligence
community have pursued al Qaeda and affiliates in
Afghanistan, Pakistan, and around the world with tremendous
dedication, sacrifice, and professionalism.
(9) The close collaboration between the Armed Forces and
the intelligence community prompted the Director of National
Intelligence, General James Clapper, to state, ``Never have I
seen a more remarkable example of focused integration,
seamless collaboration, and sheer professional magnificence
as was demonstrated by the Intelligence Community in the
ultimate demise of Osama bin Laden.''.
(10) While the death of Osama bin Laden represents a
significant blow to the al Qaeda organization and its
affiliates and to terrorist organizations around the world,
terrorism remains a critical threat to United States national
security.
(11) President Obama said, ``For over two decades, bin
Laden has been al Qaeda's leader and symbol, and has
continued to plot attacks against our country and our friends
and allies. The death of bin Laden marks the most significant
achievement to date in our Nation's effort to defeat al
Qaeda.''.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the raid that killed Osama bin Laden demonstrated the
best of the intelligence community's capabilities and
teamwork;
(2) for years to come, Americans will look back at this
event as a defining point in the history of the United
States;
(3) it is vitally important that the United States
memorialize all the events that led to the raid so that
future generations will have an official record of the events
that transpired before, during, and as a result of the
operation; and
(4) preserving this history now will allow the United
States to have an accurate account of the events while those
that participated in the events are still serving in the
Government.
(c) Report on the Operation That Killed Osama Bin Laden.--
Not later than 90 days after the completion of the report
being prepared by the Center for the Study of Intelligence
that documents the history of and lessons learned from the
raid that resulted in the death of Osama bin Laden, the
Director of the Central Intelligence Agency shall submit such
report to the congressional intelligence committees.
(d) Preservation of Records.--The Director of the Central
Intelligence Agency shall preserve any records, including
intelligence information and assessments, used to generate
the report described in subsection (c).

be determined by reference to the latest statement titled
``Budgetary Effects of PAYGO Legislation'' for this Act,
submitted for printing in the Congressional Record by the
Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, provided that such
statement has been submitted prior to the vote on passage.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from
Michigan (Mr. Rogers) and the gentleman from Maryland (Mr.
Ruppersberger) each will control 20 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Michigan.
Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I
may consume.
This is a good day for the United States, certainly a good day for
the men and women who serve so proudly in our intelligence services
that work tirelessly to keep America safe. This is a good day to bring
the fiscal year 2012 intelligence authorization bill to the floor
today. This will be our second intelligence authorization bill since
January of this year, when I became chairman and my ranking member took
his position as well for the House Intelligence Committee, and it will
be the 29th bill in our committee's history.
{time} 0920
This bill is a vital tool for congressional oversight of the
intelligence community's classified activities and is critical to
ensuring that our intelligence agencies have the resources and
authorities they need to do their important work.
Passing an annual intelligence authorization bill is vital to keeping
the laws governing our intelligence operations up to date. The FY12
bill sustains our current intelligence capabilities and provides for
the development of future capabilities, all while achieving significant
savings.
The U.S. intelligence community plays a critical role in the war on
terrorism and securing the country from many threats that we face
today. Effective and aggressive congressional oversight is essential to
ensuring continued success in the intelligence community.
The intelligence authorization bill funds U.S. intelligence
activities spanning 17 separate agencies. This funding totaled roughly
$80 billion in fiscal year 2010. The current challenging fiscal
environment demands the accountability and financial oversight of our
classified intelligence programs that can only come with an
intelligence authorization bill.
The bill's comprehensive classified annex provides detailed guidance
on intelligence spending, including adjustments to costly programs.
This bill funds the requirements of the men and women of the
intelligence community, both military and civilian, many of whom
directly support the war zones or are engaged in other dangerous
operations to keep America and Americans safe.
It provides oversight and authorization for critical intelligence
activities, including the global counterterrorism operations, such as
the one that took out Osama bin Laden; cyberdefense by the National
Security Agency; countering the proliferation of weapons of mass
destruction; global monitoring of foreign militaries and weapons tests;
research and development of new technology to maintain our intelligence
agencies' technological edge, including work on code breaking and spy
satellites.
This has been a strategy for a tough fiscal climate. After passage of
the Budget Control Act, the committee revamped the bill it reported out
of committee back in May to double its budget savings. As a result, the
bill is significantly below the President's budget request for fiscal
year 2012 and further still below the levels authorized and
appropriated in fiscal year 2011. These savings--and this is important,
Mr. Speaker--were achieved without impacting the intelligence
community's important mission, as the cuts of the 1990s did.
The bottom line is that this bipartisan bill preserves and advances
national security and is also fiscally responsible. The secrecy that is
a necessary part of our country's intelligence work requires that the
congressional intelligence committees conduct strong and effective
oversight on behalf of the American people. That strong and effective
oversight is impossible, however, without an annual intelligence
authorization bill. And I want to thank both of the staffs for the
Republicans and the Democrats, and the members from both the
Republicans and Democrats on this committee for coming together in a
bipartisan way on the important issue of national security. And I thank
my friend, Dutch Ruppersberger, the ranking member, for his leadership
in getting us not to one, but to two authorization bills within just 10
months. And that's no small accomplishment, as you might know, Mr.
Speaker.
With that, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
I rise today in favor of the Intelligence Authorization Act for FY
2012.
When Chairman Rogers and I took over leadership of the House
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, we made a commitment to
work together to ensure the intelligence community has the authorities
it needs to effectively protect America. This intelligence
authorization bill achieves this purpose. It gives our intelligence
professionals critical resources, capabilities, and authorities. We
passed FY11 earlier this year, and now we can see the finish line for
FY12.
For 5 years, there were no intelligence bills. There was a gap in
oversight. When this bill is signed into law, it will be the third time
in 3 years that the Intelligence Committee has passed an intel
authorization act.
I strongly believe that passing the authorization bill is critical to
national security. The Intelligence Committee wants to strengthen the
intelligence community and give them the tools they need. However, it
is also our job to conduct thorough, effective oversight and provide
budgetary direction. This bill does that.
This bill makes smart choices. It trims and eliminates duplicative
efforts wherever possible. We made careful decisions and were mindful
to protect the current and future capabilities that protect our Nation.
This bill aligns our resources with our current threats and makes
important investments in space, satellites, and cyber.
[[Page H9808]]
This bill is even more important today with the 10th anniversary of
9/11 fresh in our minds. When it comes to terrorism, Osama bin Laden
may be gone, but radical extremists still have the United States as a
target.
Intelligence is clearly the best defense against terrorism, and this
bill makes our defense even stronger. This act is bipartisan and
bicameral. The members of our Intelligence Committee work not as
Democrats or Republicans, or as the House or Senate, but as Americans
protecting our country. This bill is proof that Congress can work
together to do good things. I fully support this bill and urge my
colleagues to do the same.
And I also want to acknowledge the leadership of Chairman Rogers for
helping put this bill together.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. I continue to reserve my time, Mr. Speaker.
Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to my distinguished
colleague from the State of California (Mr. Thompson).
Mr. THOMPSON of California. I thank the gentleman for yielding.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 1892, the Intelligence
Authorization Act for FY12.
As the ranking member of the Subcommittee on Terrorism, Human
Intelligence, Analysis, and Counterintelligence, I am pleased that we
were able to work together to bring a bipartisan, bicameral
intelligence authorization bill to the House floor for the third year
in a row. This is a testament to the hard work and leadership of our
chairman, Mr. Rogers, and ranking member, Mr. Ruppersberger.
This bill will increase information sharing throughout the
intelligence community. It includes a provision that is important to my
home State of California, requiring the Director of National
Intelligence to compile a threat assessment of foreign drug traffickers
that are destroying our public lands here in the United States and
causing unacceptable levels of violence because of their drug-growing
operations in our public parks and forests. This bill requires the DNI
to share this information with Federal land management agencies like
the Forest Service so that we can take back our public lands.
The bill also includes a provision that I authored, working with my
friend and former committee colleague, Representative Anna Eshoo from
California, requiring the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency
to provide a full report on the events surrounding the May 2011 Osama
bin Laden raid. We are all very proud of the intelligence community's
extraordinary efforts in carrying out this operation. We believe it's
important that the intelligence community document this operation in
our permanent record as to how the operation was conducted and its
importance on our counterterrorism efforts.
Mr. Speaker, this legislation will improve our national security,
will enhance the capabilities of the intelligence community, and will
make our Nation stronger.
I urge my colleagues to support this bill.
Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. I continue to reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
I think we really need to discuss the issue of cybersecurity.
Cyberthreat is the one thing I think that keeps a lot of us on the
Intelligence Committee up at night, how serious a threat it is to our
country--we're being attacked on a regular basis. And we as a country
need to do what we have to do to go forward and deal with the issue of
cyber.
Cyber poses one of the greatest threats to Americans from both an
economic and national security perspective. We are losing millions of
dollars because of cyberattacks. Our intellectual property is being
stolen daily just as we speak. Our Pentagon is being attacked as we
speak. We have seen countless examples of cutting-edge U.S. ideas being
stolen and used for foreign products.
Cyber is also a major national security concern. We only have to look
at the attack on South Korea's banking system to realize the impact an
attack can have on critical infrastructure. In South Korea, depositors
lost access to their money and critical investment. Data was lost. An
attack like this could happen in the United States if we do not prepare
and focus on the issue of cybersecurity. This bill strengthens U.S.
cyberdefenses, again, a very important part of this bill.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I
may consume.
I appreciate the gentleman bringing up the issue of cybersecurity, an
incredibly important issue, one that this committee spends a great deal
of time on. And the ranking member and myself and many members of this
committee have co-authored a bill--and many Members of this House--to
give that first important step to protecting Americans' networks from
both economic espionage and attack of those particular networks.
{time} 0930
I can't think of anything that is more pressing than that particular
issue, and I appreciate the gentleman's working with us on that
particular issue and being a leading voice here in Congress on that
particular issue.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
I think another major issue that we've addressed in this bill is the
issue of space. Years ago, when we went to the Moon, the whole country
understood how important space was to the national defense of our
country, and, in those days, everyone knew the names of the astronauts
the same as they know the names of NFL quarterbacks today.
And yet, because of the fact that there hasn't been as much in space,
we as a country need to educate our constituents how important space
is. We are the strongest country in the world, and one of the main
reasons is because we are active and control the skies. Yet, right now,
our space program has to be reinvigorated, and we have to refocus on
that.
America, again, controls the world because we control the skies. Our
investment in space keeps us safe. If we fail to make that investment,
other countries will move ahead and edge us out. As an example, China
is going to the Moon. They are spending time, research, and development
to go to the Moon. Currently, we rely on the Russians to get to the
international space station.
We must reinvest in the capabilities to give us the edge in space. We
also need to think about different ways to get ahead. The bill breaks
down barriers of our launch industry. All options need to be on the
table as we talk about keeping America's edge in space.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I
may consume.
The ranking member brings up an important point about how complex
this bill is and the level of threats and the degree of threat that
this great country faces every day and really the importance of our
investment in the technology that we need to keep ahead of enemy
nations who seek to do us harm.
This bill embodies the fact that there will be members of the
intelligence community whose job it is to find those Russian spies--
like the illegal alien Russian case that was here--that are attempting
to do bad things to the United States. The same with Chinese spies and
Iranian spies, and the list is very long. And, unfortunately, it's not
a spy novel; it's not a movie. These things are real. They happen every
day in the United States, and we are a target of those nation-states as
they seek to steal our secrets.
This bill provides those protections, and that means that we have to
invest in space. It means that we have to invest in our cybersecurity
capability. It means that we have to invest in our HUMINT collection,
meaning recruiting others who will help us identify and ferret out
those who seek to do us harm.
It means that we have the challenges of trying to make sure that al
Qaeda, who has expressed an interest in a radiological bomb, doesn't
get their hands on those types of materials. It means that we have to
be careful about nuclear weapons being proliferated around the world by
either force security or, worse yet, nation-states who encourage that
type of activity.
[[Page H9809]]
It is no simple job being an intelligence officer or being in the
intelligence community here in the United States.
I think this bill is an accurate reflection on how we move to the
next place, but also an important reminder of the important work that
they do, often in the shadows. The men and women who conduct this
important work certainly deserve our support and all of the resources
that we can muster to make sure that they're successful in their
endeavors.
With that, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
I think it's extremely important that we look back where we've come
from since 9/11.
During 9/11, or before 9/11, we had agencies, intelligence agencies
that just were not working together. There was not a teamwork approach.
And, as a result of not working together, the attack of 9/11 occurred.
The 9/11 Commission made numerous recommendations, and a lot of those
recommendations were very positive and were implemented.
As a result of the bin Laden raid and bringing him to justice, I
think it showed the teamwork that is needed, especially in the
intelligence community, to work together, whether or not it's NSA, the
NRO, it's the military, all those different agencies coming together
and working as a team. And we would not have had the success that we
had with bin Laden if it weren't for that teamwork approach.
I think now we have to learn about the teamwork approach and working
together in Congress, also. We as Members of Congress need to do our
job and come together and do the people's work, and the partisan
politics has to stop.
What I'm leading to is that I think that this bill, and the previous
bills that we've passed, and the leadership of Chairman Rogers and the
open minds of every member, whether Democrat or Republican, on the
Intelligence Committee has allowed us to come together and have a
bipartisan bill. And we would hope that what is happening here today in
the bills that we've passed will be looked at as an example for the
future.
Again, Chairman Rogers, thank you for that commitment. We made a
commitment when we first came that the stakes are too high, national
security is too high, and we must work together.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. I continue to reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to a member of the
Intelligence Committee, the gentleman from California (Mr. Schiff).
Mr. SCHIFF. I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I want to thank
the chair and ranking member for the extraordinary job they have done
on the Intelligence Committee.
This committee, I think, has been more productive than it's been in
years, and owing largely to the efforts of these two gentlemen as well
as all the members of the committee. I am greatly appreciative of the
spirit of cooperation and nonpartisanship that prevails on the
Intelligence Committee, and I want to thank both of these gentlemen.
I also enjoy working with Joe Heck, the chairman of the Technical and
Tactical Subcommittee, and as ranking member I appreciate the
opportunity to work on our overhead architecture issues. I remain
concerned that we are largely investing in some inherited systems that
are important but very expensive and can often crowd out new
innovations and new technologies that are worthy of investment that
provide potentially game-changing capabilities, but I look forward to
continuing to work with the chair and ranking member to advance the
science and technology that helps us stay one step ahead of our
adversaries and helps us keep an eye on some of the bad actors around
the world that pose a potentially great threat to the United States.
But, once again, I'm greatly appreciative of the efforts of the
committee and our leadership. I think this is a superb bill and moves
our intelligence capabilities forward.
I urge my colleagues to join in support.
Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I
may consume.
I appreciate the gentleman and look forward to continuing to work
with the gentleman from California on those activities when it comes to
our overhead architecture. There are programs worthy of investment, and
the technology that we apply to this particular effort is incredibly
important.
We always need to stay ahead. America always needs to be number one,
and this bill reflects that. I think the work of the gentleman
certainly is reflected in this bill as well, and I look forward to
continuing to work with you to make sure that we don't have crowd-out
when it comes to future technology. I think it's incredibly important.
I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. RUPPERSBERGER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may
consume.
I do want to acknowledge the Technical and Tactical Subcommittee and
the work done by Mr. Heck and also Mr. Schiff. I have served with Mr.
Schiff for years on the Intelligence Committee, and he has been very
focused on the technical area, which is extremely important to our
national security.
Mr. Speaker, in closing, it took a long time for us to get to this
point here today. We spent days in important hearings analyzing the
intelligence community, making sure that we focused on what the
intelligence community needed. We knew, as this country has an issue
with respect to the deficit, that we had to do some cutting.
It's not about cutting; it was what to cut. And we wanted to make
sure that the cuts that we made in this intelligence bill, working as
Republicans and Democrats, would not affect the mission for the
national security of our country. We spent time before the bill passed,
hours and hours, working, staff working, coming together. And what's
very unique, also, about this committee is that both the Democrat and
the Republican staff worked very closely together, and I hadn't seen
that in the past as a member of this committee for over 9 years right
now. And that's one of the main reasons that we have such a great,
effective staff that work together as a team, to come together to make
sure that we did what we had to do.
{time} 0940
Now we are here today to finish the job. Republicans and Democrats
have come together to make important choices and to do what is right
for the intelligence community and our country. This bill makes America
safer.
Again, I commend everyone who participated in this effort, especially
the bipartisan leadership of Chairman Rogers, the other members of the
Intelligence Committee, and the leadership of Senators Feinstein and
Chambliss in the Senate Intelligence Committee, again working together.
We can do our work here, but we need the Senate to come together, and
we did and we now have the product here today.
I would like to thank again both the Democrat and Republican staff
for the countless hours they spent.
I fully support the fiscal year 2012 Intelligence Authorization Act
and urge my colleagues to do the same.
I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my
time.
I want to thank the members of the committee, both Republican and
Democrat, for their fine bipartisan effort on this national security
bill of real significance. Many, many hours on behalf of both the
Democrat staff and the Republican staff to get this right. When we had
to trim back some finances from the community without impacting the
mission, that is no small challenge, and I think this product is a
testament to all of the work on behalf of both staffs, and both
members, Republican and Democrat, to get us here.
I want to take this time to thank Senator Feinstein and Senator
Chambliss for their work as well on this particular bill. We wouldn't
be here today if it weren't for that bicameral and bipartisan effort,
again, on this national security bill.
General Leave
Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that
[[Page H9810]]
all Members may have 5 legislative days to revise and extend their
remarks and include extraneous material on the bill, H.R. 1892, as it
will be adopted.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentleman from Michigan?
There was no objection.
Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. With that, I yield back the balance of my
time.
Mr. LANGEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to support the 2012
Intelligence Authorization Act. In particular, this bill includes
funding to accelerate implementation of an insider threat detection
program and requires best practices implemented in the Army to be
reviewed for inclusion across the Intelligence Community. In addition,
the bill supports critical resources for cybersecurity, a threat which
demands the attention of national security specialists.
As the successful operation against Usama bin Ladin demonstrated
earlier this year, the Intelligence Community has made significant
strides towards working together to counter the most complex threats
facing our nation. Productive cooperation and intelligence integration
embodies the intent of congressional reforms made after the tragic
events of 9/11. I am encouraged to see this progress, especially in the
area of information sharing.
While the sharing of classified information is imperative to keep our
country safe, technological advances have also increased the risks of
this cooperation. As we saw last year with the damage of Wikileaks the
threat from a malicious insider, with the ``keys to the kingdom,'' is
real.
This bill requires the Director of National Intelligence to review
improvements made to the Army's insider threat regulation and consider
implementation across the Intelligence Community. The bill also
accelerates other technical initiatives within the insider threat
program. It is imperative that we ensure our security officers and
network administrators have this capability in place to protect our
most sensitive information.
Further, this bill helps secure our information and networks both
from the insider and from outside actors by addressing the risks posed
to our cyber networks. We must all work together to raise awareness of
this threat and work with both public and private sector partners. I
urge my colleagues to join me in support of this bill.
Mr. HECK. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 1892.
As the Chairman of the Technical and Tactical Subcommittee, I was
tasked with leading a comprehensive review of our Nation's satellite
systems. This review was conducted, and I am confident that the systems
proposed in the classified annex of this bill provide the best value
approach to collecting the overhead imagery demanded by our Nation's
senior policy makers, intelligence analysts and war fighters.
Two of the intelligence community's chief weapons against terrorism
are information--and the ability to communicate that information
swiftly. This reality places a significant demand on our imaging
systems, and it brings into focus the cost associated with these
systems.
As we're fighting the war on terror, we must not allocate resources
without due process.
Former Secretary of Defense Gates and former Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mullen both identified America's growing debt
as their number one national security concern.
This bill recognizes and selectively funds competition in areas where
competitive pressure will help improve innovation, reduce risk and
strengthen the industrial base. This bill also recognizes and
encourages competition in space launch programs with an eye towards
reducing the cost of spacecraft launch while maintaining reliability.
In addition to concern over the federal government's spending habits,
another reason Nevadans elected me 1ast fall is to restore government
accountability and oversight.
The intelligence community is no exception: we must ensure they are
accountable and receive proper oversight because most of their work
occurs outside of the public's view.
Chairman Rogers and Ranking Member Ruppersberger are doing incredible
work on this issue, and I applaud their dedication to restoring proper
accountability and oversight to the intelligence community.
I am confident the intelligence authorization act provides the
resources and latitude our intelligence community needs while removing
excess and indolence.
That is why I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on H.R. 1892.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the
gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Rogers) that the House suspend the rules
and concur in the Senate amendment to the bill, H.R. 1892.
The question was taken.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the opinion of the Chair, two-thirds
being in the affirmative, the ayes have it.
Mr. ROGERS of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and
nays.
The yeas and nays were ordered.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further
proceedings on this question will be postponed.
